Small Ui Anomaly

[esoteric]

So, I was arranging fleets for an ambush (boo hoo) and noticed an anomaly for order entry:

I can set my fleet to Standby and the Undirected=False and Next Action=Standby- good.
If I set an opponents fleet to be ambushed by it, my Standby fleet now shows Next Action=Ambush but Undirected=True- weird.

Or, if I first set the opposing fleet to be ambushed by a fleet not specifically told to be Standby, the fleets Undirected=True and Next Action=Ambush- okay.
If I then try to issue a Standby order to the ambushing fleet, Standby is not available in the order list- yucky.

Huh, sloppy. I'll check it out, thanks!

Another... I'm simulating a drop of a PBB. I give the drop PBB order and then direct an opponents fleet to fire at the PBB fleet. If I delete the PBB order it's not available to reassign unless I remove the opponents fire order first.
Additionally, If the PBB fleet makes it to the next turn with no ships on it, the PBB is apparently lost; I thought this was supposed to be retained? Whether the fleet is eliminated through combat (dropping or not) or by transfer of ships off, the PBB is lost. I thought this was supposed to be capturable?

Another... If I issue a Build Industry or Scrap I-Ships order and then try to Load Metal (all) or Load All, the load value for metal forgets to consider the metal beign used by the new industry. Apparently I can't direct the new industry's production to a fleet or even direct the new industry to build new industry.

I don't think the new industry can build in the same turn that it is built.

I'll look into the PBB issues.

It does build, but just an I-ship. Ex. I have orders in on a planet with 6 industry and 1 I-ship to build 1 industry. It's projecting 7 industry and 4 I-ships.

[drwr]

Hmm, I think that's probably a mistake in my auto-build-I-Ships rule.

David

In that case it doesn't need fixing

All of these issues are now resolved with 1.0.3.1, except for the PBB issue, which is correct behavior per the FB rules.
